Rice & Pork with Black Beans image

It may not be authentic Spanish Rice, but I always loved combinations of rice, tomatoes, onion,garlic and chili seasoning, paprika, salt and other spices. We had it with pork when I was a child, and I sometimes use green bell peppers and celery. The black beans are added this time!
